"Advocating for Biomedical Research: The Top Ten Things
You Should NOT Say
While Educating Lawmakers”
Saturday, May 19, 11:30am – 1:00pm

“Informing lawmakers about the importance of funding biomedical
research |
|
is a key function of AAI’s public affairs program. But
we depend on AAI |
|
members to help us communicate this crucial message. If you’ve
ever |
|
gone to Capitol Hill to advocate for research, or if you would ever
like |
|
to do so, or if you just want some good political laughs, join us
|
|
for this informative and potentially irreverent seminar. ” |
